Jerry Brotton with Tim Marshall, David Olusoga and Emma Jane Unsworth

This entertaining and immersive event turns maps into theatre, bringing them to life in a way you’ve never seen before. In its Hay Festival debut, the award-winning podcast What’s Your Map? comes to the stage with host Jerry Brotton, a leading authority on the history of maps. He asks each of his guests to unfold a map that’s special to them and share the story that lies behind it. Each map will be projected large-scale and discussed in all its rich detail. Tim Marshall is former diplomatic editor at Sky News and author of Prisoners of Geography. Historian and broadcaster David Olusoga is author of Black & British: A Forgotten History. Emma Jane Unsworth is a BAFTA-nominated screenwriter and best-selling novelist. A perfect way to spend the evening for anyone fascinated by history, adventure and culture.
